Love is in the Air - part 1

We couldn't be happier about the fact that you share your stories about your experiences with our company in your blog entries, on your Facebook pages and in your conversations with friends and family. Not only are you helping us help more people, but you're also allowing us to spend more of our time working on improving our products and services, rather than spending time and money on traditional advertising.

During the month of February, we like to take the opportunity to say "THANK YOU!" for all of your help and also to remind you of some of the programs we have in place to help facilitate the work you do to spread the word about us.

Starting with this one, we're going to send you an eNewsletter each week in February, highlighting different aspects of our "Thank You Dollars" program. First, we'd like to start out with a simple description of the program itself:

Thank You Dollars Program

At iPrintfromHome.com, we run a "Thank You Dollars" program where we award current customers iPrintfromHome account credit for referring new customers.

If you send us a new customer, you will earn $2 in "Thank You Dollars" when your friend creates an account at iPrintfromHome.com and enters your name in the "Referred by" entry box. You will receive another $10 when they place their first order. As you earn "Thank You Dollars," they will be automatically deposited into your account and you will receive notification by email. Basically, it boils down to $12 in account credit for each customer that you send to iPrintfromHome.com, which you can then apply towards future orders.

This program runs all the time and there are no limits to how many Thank You Dollars you can earn.

iPrintfromHome.com Ambassador Center

Once you start successfully referring customers, we'll send you an e-mail invitation to become an official iPrintfromHome.com Ambassador. As an Ambassador, you can take advantage of various tools we've made available to help you spread the word about iPrintfromHome.com and you'll get sneak peeks on promotions and new products. For more information about our Ambassadors Program, please click here.

As always, thank you for your support of iPrintfromHome.com! And, many thanks for your help spreading the word about our services.

Thanks,

the iPrintfromHome.com team

What, How & Why: A Closer Look - Featuring Sharleen Decano

At iPrintfromHome.com, we work with artists and photographers from across the United States and Canada. We're inspired everyday by the images that they send to us and by the stories they share.

In our "What, How & Why" interview series, we take a closer look at some of these fascinating people.

We've asked each participating artist or photographer three simple questions:

1. What do you do?

2. How do you do it?

3. Why do you use iPrintfromHome.com?

Please read on to find out more about Sharleen Decano.

Sharleen Decano 

Artist

Riverside, CA

What do you do?

I'm an artist that dabbles in different types of arts and crafts, but my main medium of choice and that I have a lot of experience with would be gum wrappers. I then sell prints of my art online on etsy and in person, usually at a convention or to friends.

How do you do it?
I usually start off with an idea of what I want to make and/or I make a stencil with images I find online. With my stencil made and choosing from the abundance of gum wrappers I collect, I decide what colors I want my piece to be, and mix and match it with colors that go well with it. Then I start to working on peeling the foil part of the gum wrapper off and placing it on my stencil.

Why do you use iPrintfromHome.com?
I use iPrintfromHome, because for one, they have a certain print surface called metallic that make my images really pop out. I couldn't really find other printing services that had this option, so I'm glad I found this one. Because using a different print surface like lustre or glossy don't do my images enough justice and usually just dulled it out. But with the metallic surface, it perfectly captures the foil look of my art and enhances its overall look. Secondly, it's very affordable for me and I get my prints fairly quickly. And thirdly, they've been very helpful when I've reached out to them for help with my prints.

What, How & Why: A Closer Look - Featuring Rachel Rainey

Rachel Rainey

Painter/Illustrator

Tulsa, OK

What do you do?

I'm a self taught Painter/Illustrator. In the past year I have gathered a small following on my Youtube channel where I share my painting/drawing process. My work focuses on feeling. It explores the contrast between the harshness of the world and the softness of people with semi realistic portraits . Last year I began selling art prints on my online shop when some of my followers mentioned they might be interested in purchasing some from me. 

How do you do it?

I work primarily in ink and watercolors but occasionally I use gauche when I need something I bit more opaque. I normally start by sketching out a basic idea on printer paper. Once I'm happy with what I have I then transfer the finished sketch lightly on to watercolor paper. Then I can set up my camera and start recording myself paint. Taking breaks to let layers dry or to move the camera to a better angle. After I'm finished with all of that I'm free to photograph my work and upload it to Instagram and upload a satisfying video to youtube of the whole painting process.

Why do you use iPrintfromHome.com?

In the beginning a tried out a few other photo printing services and I was always disappointed. But after awhile I came across a youtube video that covered how this other artist made their prints, it turned out they used iprintfromhome. After placing my first order I was convinced; the quality was amazing. And the drop shipping has saved me so much time sending out orders since I don't have to worry about how it will turn out. I can trust that my customers will be as happy as I am.

It's getting close to Christmas and we are getting lots of calls asking if it's too late to order prints in time to give as gifts. Unfortunately, time is running out.  The only products that you can order that will definitely be done before Christmas are Photographic Prints (order by 6am, December 22).  It is too late to order any giclee prints, inkjet prints, plak mounted prints or stretched canvas prints.  

FedEx shipping options are the ONLY guaranteed options.  USPS will not guarantee delivery before Christmas.

This time of year, we strongly recommend choosing one of the FedEx shipping options.  Most of you choose USPS 1st Class, USPS Priority or Free Shipping when you order at iPrintfromHome.com.  Although the post office is generally very fast, please note that these are not guaranteed shipping options.  If you definitely need your order before Christmas, you might consider choosing one of the guaranteed FedEx shipping options when you place your order.

At iPrintfromHome.com, our standard turnaround time for Photographic Prints is as follows: if you place your order by 6am EST, we have it ready for shipping the same day, Monday through Saturday. Any order that comes in on Sunday will be shipped on Monday.

Please note that the turnaround time for Giclee Fine Art Prints is 3 business days (weekdays), and that the daily production cut-off is 6am EST.

Please also note that requesting foam and ultra mounting (or stretching) services can add up to 3 business days to your turnaround time.  Plak mounting can add up to 7 business days to your turnaround time.
